CHAPTER x.

1t was surely one of the most quaint
and curious scenes ever witnessed: the
two fashionable high-bred women in the
little green drawing-room, sacred to the
memory of Bonnie Doom.
The room, which when Ruth was in
it looked like shrine for gem, SEEM
ed too small for them; they filled it to
OVERLOOKING. They were far too well
bred to make any comments upon it.
Eric st. John was i'll at ease, and he
could not conceal it. He talked to Lady
Gerton about his illness, and of all that
was passing in London. He talked to
Lady May of her travels, but from him
there came no allusion as to the future,
and certainly no word that betrayed the
lover.
Then Ruth came in to prepare the
room for dinner. Eric looked at his
guests with laugh.
81 do not know how you will like it,"
he said, "but have only this one room
for dining and sitting room"
sit will be picnic" laughed Lady
Gerton. L l'a p. ada .1s. ..ra
"We will make our drawing-room out
under the trees, :" said Lady May.
They watched the girl with curious
intentness as she went swiftly about
her work. ken III. --. .....-.
Lady Nav sighed just little, as she
noted the exquisite face with its wind
blown bloom. She was somewhat reas-
sured when she saw the signs and traces
Of work on the otherwise pretty hands.
Ruth wore a pretty dress OF pale blue
